Granny Square Flower Garden keeps growing

Hippity Hoppity Hare admires the arrangement of all 150 squares carefully arranged by Dr Caroline.

Granny Square rug + Elephants

I'm now up to 106 squares. I've also just joined Meet Me At Mike's one Granny square a day challenge.  I have actually been doing one square a day since the beginning of November, but it's nice to be part of a group challenge to give a bit of oomph to the committment.

Granny Square rug

43 squares! I can't count - 65 squares actually.

Some paintings

I am very bad at keeping a visual record of my artworks. My new years resolution is to change this habit.

These are some paintings I did in the last while. The blue bird - for Adeline who turned one recently. The other was painted for Katrina.

If Felix says it's a rug then it's a rug

And he communicates this by sitting on it. Felix loves rugs. If there is a rug on a rug he will sit on that. So when I put my granny squares down to photograph even though they are not joined he authenticated my efforts as a rug.



I've got a granny square a day habit. I want a beautiful rug for my studio in time for winter. But there are so many other things I need/want to do and I have to give them all time. So I'll just do one a day and I'll have my rug when I need it without the endevour eating up all my time. I'm crossing it off on a calendar every day ala Jerry Seinfeld.
